Question # 1: Literature helps us to understand the character traits and motives of many different people. Some people are similar to us, and others are very different. Write a well developed paragraph in which you tell me which character in The Outsiders you are most like and why. You may choose any character, but you must make sure you connect to them in some real way. I think that I am most like Cherry Valance. She is pretty well off in town, which means she has more money than most people. I do too, and there are a LOT of people in Milwaukee that have a lot less money than my family does. Also, Cherry doesn't always know what to say with the Socs, adn I sometimes don't know what to say when I am with my friends. Cherry is also a good person because she tried to stick up for the greaser gang when her boyfriend showed up, but she also asked if Ponyboy would understand if she didn't say hi at school or something. I think I am like that because I know what the right thing is to do, but I also don't want to get myself hurt.
